Setting up wifi through a ad-hoc

I posted this in the Using the iPod Touch forum, but just found this forum and thought it would be a bit more appropriate.
I just got a iPod touch today and I attempted to setup an ad-hoc network to connect my wifi. The touch recognized the network, however, I can't go online at all. Safari says it isn't connected to the internet.
I'm not quite sure what to do. Can anyone help me?
Thank you very much in advance.

If you are running an Airport Extreme, check your settings to make sure you are not running in N mode exclusively. Your touch can only operate with WiFi b/g modes.
Settings > General > Network is not going to give you any information at this point that is meaningful for you. VPN is something that is not normally used on home networks but maybe used when you access your work network remotely.
You want to use Settings > WiFi > Other Network to input your network name if your iPod can't see your network. Once it sees your network name, tap on the name to start the connection process. Next, input the encryption method (usually WPA2-personnel on Airports) and your network password. Assuming everything works as planned you should see a check mark next to the network name, a lock symbol if you have an encrypted network, and a blue >. Tap the blue > to make sure you have an IP address (other than 169.x.x.x), subnet mask, router IP, and DNS IP. You will also get an Airport signal strength icon on the top left of the screen showing you are connected to WiFi.
Let us know if you have any other problems.

I got a new iPhone 5s and I am unable to connect to my home wifi (through Comcast/Xfinity). I was able to with my 4s but not with my new 5s.

I got a new iPhone 5s and I am unable to connect to my home wifi (through Comcast/Xfinity) network. I was able to with my 4s with no problems but with my new 5s, I just get that a message that says "Unable to connect to network [network name]" Thoughts on how to connect to the wifi network? My laptop is connected and using the wifi just fine.

I see the following instruction:
Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Note: This will reset all network settings including:
However when I get there I am offered a screen which states "Enter Passcode", and have no clue as to what this should be given I never had to set this in the first place.
It expects 4 digit code, so any ideas?

Set up wifi network in advance

I want to set up wifi access to a network IN ADVANCE of being at the house that the network is located (setting up a friend's iPad for when they visit their mom). I can manually enter the network name and password - but the only option appears to be "Cancel" or "Join" and since the iPad isn't "in range" yet it obviously can't connect - and there doesn't appear to be a "Save" option to get around this. So is there some other method of doing this that I'm not aware of? Or does Apple not provide that ability? Just trying to save them the steps of having to do that when the get there - they use the iPad for what they need but aren't use to going in to settings to do much. Thanks.

You can't set the networks settings up in advance. There is no way to save the information. The iPad can only join networks that it can see and that means the device must be withing range of the network.
It really couldn't be much easier to join a network. You can easily talk them through it.

Ipad cannot connect to the printer unless printer is set for wifi

I have an HP Envy 4500 printer that I wish to use with my iPad. I can use the printer if I choose the setting wifi without connecting via the router. But after I set it up to use the router and the printer shows that it has established connectivity from the Wireless Network Test Result, the only way that I can print, is to change the setting on my iPad from the router to the printer in Settings. That means I cannot continue to use Safari or other search engines while I print.What am I doing wrong when setting it up on the iPad?

Currently your HP Envy 4500 is set to Wireless Direct Printing (Ad Hoc setting; the printer generate it's own network)
You must set your HP Envy 4500 to Wireless Network Printing in order to use Safari and other function simultanously.

Problems setting up WIFI printing on Mavericks HPDeskjet3050A

I have an HP Deskjet 3050A J611n I can get it to print via USB but wifi is problematic I have had it working a couple of time but wehen I try to reuse it at a later time printer can not be found I am creating my wifi through ethernet to my Time Capsule . I have removed and inserted the printer several times through system prefs the original settings that worked are on my iMac which is currenty been repaired (Graphics issues); so I am using a white macbook I have managed to print off on wifi once I think with this plus do I need to be connected to the HP set up on the wifi all the time to print since this then means I am not connected wirelessly to my normal network? I have been confused by the whole issue is there an easy way to set this up? What information do I need to give it to make it work including airprint? I am so tempted to just run it through the USB port on the time capsule but this is not really how it should function been a wifi printer ! I assume it needs no usb connection to be wirless .
Does anyone have experience with this printer & Mavericks I have my MAC Hardware address my IP Address .I do not know what the network name SSID is or is that simple the name of my network that Time capsule is running?
I have printed off the Printer status report , Wirless Network Test Results what am I missing .
I have tried to seek out the problem in airport utility but I dont think this is it .I have tried adding printers multiple time throus system prefs & HP utility I am chasing my tail here.

Also check whether your wireless router has some security keys like WEP or WPA-PSK, then set that too in your system....

I have an iTunes account with my own music library. My wife wants to have her own music library. Is there a way of setting up a sub account for her, or do I have to set of husband playlists and a separate set of wife playlists?

Sorry, but that's not possible.

I am trying to stop using my I-pod under my husband's I-Tune account. It was set up under his account and the only way I can use it under my account is to erase all of the songs my husband loaded on for me. I had heard there is a duration that I-Pods are locked into to one account only, and I am trying to discover how I can use my account without having to erase everything on the I-Pod. I know it sounds confusing but that's the way I-tunes have set it up. thanks for asking.

The computer that I first used to download iTunes is no more. I have a new computer that I set my wife up on. While I can see all my music in the iTunes library I cannot sync my iPod

The computer that I first used to download iTunes, to buy songs and to sync my iPod Nano to iTunes is no more. I have a new computer that I inadvertently set my wife up on. When I sign in, while I can see all my music in the iTunes library, when I tried to 'sync', I have lost all my music in my iPod and I now have my wife's library on there instead.
I subscribed to iTunes Match, thinking that this would help. It hasn't and I'm not happy!
I have arranged to take my iPod into an Apple store next Tuesday but isn't there something you can tel me to do that ties my iPod wth my music and leaves my wife's music for her iPod? Please help, I am so frustrated and have wasted so much time on this, reinstalling iTunes, restoring my iPod....
Can anyone help?

If a restore did not fix it, you have a hardware issue--possible bad wi-fi radio.

How do i set up wifi calling?

How do i set up wifi calling?

Doesn't technically exist although there are easy ways around this.
I had a multi level apartment once. The bedrooms were partially underground. The neighbors had a network extender that caused many problems for our roomates. Luckily it didn't bother my phone.
Now a days verizon messages will work on wifi. I didn't have that option then so I used Google voice. I also used an app called condi or Tasker and groove ip.
Groove ip let's you make and receive free calls on wifi. If you have comcast triple play you can use their service too.
Basically I set my phone up to automatically forward my phone calls to my Google voice number. That way over wifi in my apt there was zero chances I would miss any calls. When I leave the apt and disconnect from wifi it would cancel call forwarding.
Other option is network extender. If you complain enough to verizon you can get one for $100. No way to prevent others from using it but you can give a certain amount of numbers priority.
Bottom line, verizon should offer this feature out of the box. But for now there are solutions.

Charged Rs. 60 for setting up Ipad through I Tunes

I bought new Ipad 4 yesterday.
Why i was charged Rs. 60 for setting up Ipad through I Tunes.
Is it one time or recurring??
This is surprising.... How can one charge when i have not downloaded anything from I Tune

Authorization Hold?
If you update your billing information, the iTunes Store will place an authorization hold on your payment card account, usually in the amount of 1 USD, to verify your account information. It will be credited back to your account later.

TS1398 I can't set up wifi on my new ipad.

I can't set up wifi on my new ipad. It won't connect to the network. Wifi is working on other devices in the house.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
